Film Night Cancelled
Movie fans were left disappointed earlier this week when they turned up for the monthly film night at Langport Surgery only to find the big screen had been removed.
Due to technical issues, the entire set up's had to be taken down and sent away for repairs.
It means the scheduled showing of Carry On Matron has been put off until March.
Back to the 70s!
"The missing screen's also affecting the day-to-day running of the surgery" said Nurse Jacques as she chased Eastover man Frankie Howerd around with a large daffodil.
"Until it's back, GPs will have to wander in to the waiting room and call out the name of whoever's got the next appointment" she added.
For many Langporters over a certain age this will be an easy change to adjust to, as it's similar to how legendary receptionist Mrs Phillips ran the surgery for much of the second half of the 20th century.
Sliding back her glass window and announcing a name and closing it again before you'd even got up and started walking.
Those were the days!
Before we finish, here's what's showing on 'the big screen' at the surgery's monthly film club when everything's back up and running (with the usual break for the summer):
March - Carry On Matron [factual]
April - No Sex Please, We're Huish! [factual]
May - The Life & Times of Harold Shipman [horror]
June - Hot Fuzz [official advice for Cardamom customers]
September - Chitty Chitty Gang Bang [live version from Cartgate Roundabout]
October - Deep Impact [for suppository users]
November - The Human Centipede [educational]
December - Is That My Yule Log or Yours? [seasonal comedy]
😊
Definitely worth a look!
Film club organisers say everybody's welcome, no need to join, just ring reception at 8.30 in the mornng on the day of the showing to get a seat.
That's it for now folks, thanks for the contributions and log in again soon!
